ACTIVE TRANSPORT

Question 1

FANCY DEFINITION OF ACTIVE TRANSPORT

Answer 1

ACTIVE TRANSPORT IS THE MOVEMENT OF PARTICLES AGAINST A CONCENTRATION GRADIENT, USING ENERGY RELEASED DURING RESPIRATION

Question 2

ACTIVE TRANSPORT, LIKE DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS IS USED TO (…)

Answer 2

MOVE SUBSTANCES IN AND OUT OF CELLS

Question 3

EXAMPLE OF ACTIVE TRANSPORT

Answer 3

IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WHEN THERE IS A LOW CONCENTRATION OF NUTRIENTS IN THE GUT, BUT A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF NUTRIENTS IN THE BLOOD

Question 4

HOW IS ACTIVE TRANSPORT ALSO USED IN PLANTS

Answer 4

ITS HOW TTHEY GET MINERALS FROM THE SOIL (LOWER CONCENTRATION) INTO THEIR ROOT HAIR CELLS (HIGHER MINERAL CONCENTRATION)

Question 5

WHEN THERES A HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF NUTRIENTS IN THE GUT…

Answer 5

THEY DIFFUSE NATURALLY INTO THE BLOOD

Question 6

WHEN THERE IS A LOWER CONCENTRATION OF NUTRIENTS INN THE GUT THAN THERE IS THE BLOOD…

Answer 6

THE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT IS THE WRONG WAY

Question 7

ACTIVE TRANSPORT ALLOWS NUTRIENTS TO BE TAKEN INTO THE BLOOD, DESPITE THE FACT THAT…

Answer 7

THE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT IS THE WRONG WAY

Question 8

ACTIVE TRANSPORT NEEDS (…) FROM (…) TO MAKE IT WORK

Answer 8

ENERGY FROM RESPIRATION

Question 9

WHAT ARE THE FOUR FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES

Answer 9

1) SURFACE AREA
2) DISTRANCE
3) TEMPERATURE
4) CONCENTRATION GRADIENT

Question 10

WHY DOES SURFACE AREA AFFECT THE MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES

Answer 10

THE RATE OF DIFFUSION, OSMOSIS AND ACTIVE TRANSPORT IS HIGHER IN CELLS WITH A LARGER SURFACE AREA TO VOLIUME RATIO, THIS MEANS THE SMALLER CELL HAS A LARFGER SURFACE AREA TO VOLUME RATIO

THE SMALLER THE CELL, THE LARGER THE SURFACE ARE TO VOLUME RATIO, SO, SUBSTANCES WOULD MOVE IN AND OUT OF THE CELL FASTER

Question 11

WHY DOES DISTANCE AFFECT THE MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES

Answer 11

IFSUBSTANCES HAVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO MOVE, THEY WILL MOVE IN AND OUT FASTER

Question 12

WHY DOES TEMPERATURE AFFECT THE MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES

Answer 12

AS PARTICLES IN SUBSTANCES GET WARMER THEY HAVE MORE ENERGY- SO THEY MOVE FASTER

Question 13

WHY DOES CONCENTRATION GRADIENT AFFECT THE MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES

Answer 13

SUBSTANCES MOVE IN AND OUT OF A CELL IF THERES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN CONCENTRATION BETWEEN THRE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE CELL- SO IT INCRREASES THE RATE OF DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS BUT NOT ACTIVE TRANSPORT
